3241 Shaughnessy/Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale British Columbia Community Health Service Area 3241 Shaughnessy/Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale Community Health Service Areas (CHSAs) in British Columbia (B.C.) are administrative bounds nested within Local Health Areas (LHAs) as defined by the B.C. Ministry of Health. This CHSA health profile contains information about the community’s demographics, socio-economic and health/disease status as represented through various community health indicators. The purpose of CHSA health profiles is to help B.C.’s primary care network partners, public health professionals and community organizations better understand the health needs of a specific community and to provide evidence for service provisioning and prevention strategies. Shaughnessy/Arbutus Ridge/Kerrisdale (CHSA 3241) is 16 km² in size and is a community in the southwest part of the city of Vancouver. Major establishments include Fraser River Park, VanDusen Botanical Gardens, and Quilchena Park.[1] Provided by Health Sector Information, Analysis, and Reporting Division, B.C.

CHSA Health Prole Version 1.0 Diversity A diverse community is a vibrant community. Different population groups often have different opportunities and challenges in maintaining or improving their health. For example, Indigenous people and new immigrants often face barriers to accessing health services and sustaining health and wellness.

CHSA Health Prole Version 1.0 Household Composition (Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016) Household composition describes characteristics of a person or a group of people who live within the same place of residence. Characteristics such as marital status, single-parent households and average household size have been found to be related to health and well-being. [2] For instance, research has shown consistently that married individuals report better overall health and mortality outcomes than unmarried individuals.[3] Children who are raised in households with two parents also tend to have fewer mental and physical health problems than children in one-parent households.[4] Household Composition Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016 % Married or common law 5 5 .6 % % Never married 3 1 .1 % % Separated 1 .9 % % Divorced 5 .5 % % Widowed 5 .8 % 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 % of population aged 15 and up Due to rounding, these may not add up to exactly 100% 18.4% 2.5 Percentage of the population Average household size who are lone parents co mmunityhealth.phsa.ca 3 © 2020 PHSA 3241 SHAUGHNESSY/ARBUTUS RIDGE/KERRISDALE B.C. CHSA Health Prole Version 1.0 Housing (Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016) Housing refers to an individual’s living space and can range from private residences to collective dwellings to shelters. Characteristics of a community’s housing situation can provide some insight on the health status and needs of that community. For instance, it has been shown that spending 30% or more of a household’s income on housing is considered “unaffordable”. Housing costs may include mortgage payments, bills, property tax or other maintenance fees.[5] Households spending 30% of their income on housing are less able to afford healthy food and other basic living costs. Individuals who require major repairs or restoration to their dwellings may be indicative of an inadequate or poor housing situation. [5,6] Research has found that unaffordable or inadequate housing can negatively impact physical, mental, developmental and social health. Individuals may not have the necessary income or resources to repair their dwelling, which could add more situational stress and lead to poorer health. Major repairs could include defective plumbing or electrical wiring, or repairs needed to structures such as floors and walls. 14,650 48.5% Number of dwellings Percentage of dwellings that are single detached houses 33.3% 5.6% Percentage of the population Percentage of the population who rent their dwelling whose dwelling is in need of major repairs 40.2% Percentage of households with 30% or more of income spent on shelter Mobility (Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016) Mobility refers to an individual’s geographic movements over time. It is often classified by identifying an individual’s place of residence on a certain day (known as the reference date) and comparing that to the place of residence for the individual on the same reference date at an earlier time period.[7] 42% Percentage of the population in 2016 who moved in the past 5 years Factors that affect health co mmunityhealth.phsa.ca 4 © 2020 PHSA 3241 SHAUGHNESSY/ARBUTUS RIDGE/KERRISDALE B.C. CHSA Health Prole Version 1.0 Factors that affect health The following section describes some of the factors that influence the health and well-being of communities. It is important to note that, although these factors impact health in their own right, they are interrelated and work together to contribute towards the health of communities. Income Income greatly impacts health by affecting living conditions (e.g., adequate Gross median household income housing and transportation options), access to healthy choices (e.g., healthy Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016 food options and recreational activities), and well-being (e.g., stress levels). Those with the lowest levels of income tend to experience the poorest health and health seems to improve with increasing income. This means that all segments of the population experience the effect of income on health, not just those living in poverty. Education People with higher levels of education tend to be healthier than those with less formal education. Education impacts job opportunities, working conditions, and income level. In addition, education equips us to better understand and make informed choices about the health options available. Highest Level of Education Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016 % No certificate, diploma, or degree 9 .6 % % Secondary (high) school diploma or 2 3 .9 % equivalent % Post-secondary certificate, diploma, 6 6 .4 % or degree 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 % of population aged 15+ Due to rounding, these may not add up to exactly 100% Employment Employment rate Census of population, Statistics Canada, 2016 Employment provides income and a sense of security for individuals. Underemployment or unemployment can lead to poorer physical and mental well-being due to reduced income, lack of employment benefits and elevated stress levels. Employment conditions such as workplace safety and hours of work can also impact health. co mmunityhealth.phsa.ca 5 © 2020 PHSA 3241 SHAUGHNESSY/ARBUTUS RIDGE/KERRISDALE B.C. CHSA Health Prole Version 1.0 Physical Environment Physical environment can promote healthy behaviours by increasing access to healthy food outlets, affordable housing, walking or biking paths, and smoke-free environments. How communities are planned and built can make healthy options, like active transportation, more available, affordable, and accessible for everyone. By keeping health and physical activity accessibility in mind when planning policy and designing physical spaces, communities can help create healthier environments for citizens. Active Living Environment Physical environments can promote healthy behaviours and there is an increasing interest in the promotion of

  • Arbutus Greenway Evaluation
    ARBUTUS GREENWAY EVALUATION 2019 Report to Stakeholders INTRODUCTION Our postal code may be a better predictor of our health than our genetic code. The design of our neighbourhoods influences how we move, feel, and interact, in turn impacting our chances of experiencing poor health outcomes like heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. Canada has committed to spending more than $180 billion on infrastructure over 12 years. How will these investments impact our health and well-being? Who stands to benefit, and how? The Active Aging Research Team (AART) from the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility is conducting research that aims to characterize the social and health impacts of the Arbutus Greenway development. AART will assess who, what, when, where, why, or why not people in surrounding neighbourhoods (or elsewhere) use the Arbutus Greenway. They seek to understand whether the Arbutus Greenway contributes to peoples’ health and social interactions. AART is also a part of a CIHR funded research team - INTErventions, Research, and Action in Cities Team (INTERACT). INTERACT is a national collaboration of scientists, urban planners, and public health decision-makers with a common vision of healthy, equitable, and sustainable cities by design. In partnership with cities and citizens, we harness big data to deliver timely public health intelligence on the influence of the built environment on health, well-being, and social inequities. Initially launching in four cities across Canada – Victoria, Vancouver, Saskatoon, and Montreal – INTERACT will evaluate the health impact of real world urban form interventions. The Arbutus Greenway is the study focus for the Vancouver site of INTERACT.

  • Renfrew-Collingwood Community Vision
    Vision Highlights Renfrew-Collingwood Today Renfrew-Collingwood is a dynamic, family-oriented neighbourhood, known for its active community spirit and remarkable diversity. Its residents value the area’s single family neighbourhoods, views from public places, and open sections of Still Creek and Renfrew Ravine. The area’s parks offer precious open space and are heavily used as are the community centre, pool, neighbourhood house, and community policing centre. The Vision seeks to maintain these community assets. The Renfrew-Collingwood Vision also seeks to improve the community. Residents want more actions to protect the environment and daylight Still Creek as well as new initiatives to improve community safety and increase the attractiveness of parks, school grounds, streets and lanes. Primary arterials should be made safer and easier to cross and several secondary arterials should be reclassified as collectors. Residents seek increased input to decisions which affect them, enhanced walking/biking routes, and expanded recreation programs for youth, seniors, and families. The Vision supports additional seniors housing and new housing variety around more attractive shopping areas. Create More Attractive Parks, Streets, Lanes, and Public Places There should be more variety in park design, appear- ance, and activities to serve the diverse population of the community. School grounds should become attractive, usable community spaces. More park space should be added in poorly served areas of Renfrew- Collingwood and along restored areas of Still Creek. Renfrew Ravine should be enhanced and all parks should be better maintained. More attention should be paid to safety in parks. Streets should be en- hanced as pleasant green links that connect the neighbourhood and there should be greener alternatives to fully paved lanes.

  • Motion, Supporting Community-Led Public Safety in Mount Pleasant
    B.2 COUNCIL MEMBERS’ MOTION 2. Supporting Community-Led Public Safety in Mount Pleasant Submitted by: Councillor Kirby-Yung WHEREAS 1. The City of Vancouver has been committed to supporting Community Policing Centres in neighbourhoods across Vancouver. The ideals of community policing hold that communities are best served through place-based approaches tailored to the unique needs of a neighbourhood; 2. Currently there are 11 Community Policing Centres (CPC’s) in the city. They hold a unique position among crime prevention initiatives in North America, through partnership between the community and its police force. Unlike their counterparts in other cities, these centres are not satellite police stations -- they are independent not-for-profit societies that are actually operated, staffed, and governed by volunteer members of the community; 3. Community policing leverages the local knowledge and engagement of the people who live, work and play there. Local residents work together to create crime prevention programs and overall community engagement initiatives to address health and safety concerns in their own neighbourhoods. These offices have a unique position in aiding members of the community seeking help, or connecting them with the various service providers in the area. These services might be food, shelter, medical or mental health assistance as well as other services; 4. CPC’s are located in Chinatown, Collingwood, Grandview-Woodland, Granville Downtown South, Hastings-Sunrise, Kerrisdale, Oakridge & Marpole, Kitsilano-Fairview, South Vancouver, Strathcona and West End-Coal Harbour. There is also a dedicated Aboriginal CPC on Franklin Street; 5. The Mount Pleasant BIA (MPBIA) has identified that the Mount Pleasant neighbourhood intersects with three separate CPCs, and feels it cannot be appropriately serviced by these CPCs due to the rapid and ongoing growth of Mount Pleasant, and the expansive area the existing CPCs currently have to cover; 6.

Coburn ABSTRACT The literature on the urban analysis of homicide occurrence has been dominated by American research largely patterned upon methodology developed by Wolfgang (1958). Subsequent homicide theory development and hypothesis testing, were largley founded upon American experience with American generated data. The current thesis arose with a query whether empirical generalizations and theory development of urban homicide patterns that have developed in the United States could be readily transferred to the Canadian experience. The purpose of this thesis is to fill a void in the literature by the introduction of primary Canadian homicide data from the obse~ed patterns of homicide in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Herzog’s art practice is framed as a sociologically- oriented form of flânerie yielding original, nuanced, and critical images that transcend the stereotypes of the drunk, the criminal, the old-age pensioner, and the sexual deviant on Skid Road.
